Yep, it’s definitely convincing. I mean if you use all those colors, lines, circles, etc. the ‘facts’ are always definitely correct.

I didn’t know you knew Zach Weiner. But then you webcomics guys are a community in yourselves. Is it purely a business relationship or are you pals? And who else do you know?I like to keep track of who’s pals with whom.

Caroline,

First of all, yes! I know Zach Weiner! I first met him at Webcomics Weekend a few years ago. He’s even participated in Super Art Fight at ROFLcon where he drew the most weiner-iffic monster I’ve ever seen. A really awesome dude.
In this case it was a business relationship-type-thing (I don’t think he’d mind me saying that I got paid for the design work, and a fair rate to boot) but I’d like to think of him as kind of a pal. Not quite in the same way Jimmy Olsen and Superman are pals, but I’m proud to say I know the guy.
Who else do I know? The short answer is A LOT OF PEOPLE. Comic-creating is a pretty lonely thing (since you tend to do it at home alone), but between Twitter and going to conventions and hanging out with people, you meet a lot of other creators and the solitary nature of creating binds us all together. I’m not going to name drop tons of comics people, but you can look at who I follow on Twitter (https://twitter.com/following) and get some idea. Hanging out with other comics people and getting to know them is one of the things I love most about making comics. It’s a really friendly group (except for a few asshats) and the membership is as simple as creating a comic, preferably that doesn’t suck.

When I first started reading webcomics back in 199X, it seemed like every webcomic person knew each other and I thought that was SO COOL and I wanted to join that community. Now I honestly feel like a part of it and I love that feeling.
